Simply Great American Food

Vicky’s of Santa Fe has been on the desert scene for more than 20 years and has consistently offered great American food, great service, and great prices.

Experience the comforts of this premier Indian Wells restaurant that features Old-World adobe architecture, Mexican pavers, dramatic 14-foot double doors and high ceilings, three separate dining rooms, and a bar and piano lounge that creates an inviting atmosphere. Every room is enlivened with modern art and pottery to add to the warmth.

Vicky’s is known for its generous portions and offers a simplified menu that is nothing short of serious dining. Offerings such as whole Rotisserie Chicken, 16-Ounce Prime New York Strip Steaks, Filet Mignon, Center-cut Veal Chops, Eight-Bone New Zealand Rack of Lamb, a variety of seafood entrées and old favorites such as Chicken Pot Pie, Liver and Onions, and Sand Dabs, round out a menu that pleases everyone.

The stunning walk-in wine cellar stocks a wide range of California wines from well known to boutique vintners to further complement your dining experience. You may also choose your favorite drink at the inviting bar, where many diners opt to enjoy their meal while keeping an eye on the comings and goings of this popular nightspot.

The lounge is flanked by duel fireplaces, a nine-foot concert grand piano and several small seating areas where you can wind down from a day on the links or a post-dinner nightcap. The lounge is also popular with groups seeking private dining, seating up to 100 guests. In season, the lounge has entertainment seven days a week featuring the renowned Doug Montgomery, who entertains and packs in a standing-room-only crowd; The Desert Cities Jazz Band every Sunday from 2 to 5 p.m.; and The Carmens weeknights round out the week.

Vicky’s is the destination of choice for locals, country club regulars and hotel and convention guests looking for lively entertainment and a great place to eat. Go and see why!

Open every day in season for dining from 5:30 to 10 p.m. and Happy Hour from 5 to 7 p.m.
